measles

Idaho reported the state’s third measles case in the last two weeks, after not reporting any infections this year during a national surge.

Eight cases have been reported in Gallatin County, which marked the first outbreak of measles in Montana since 1990, and all eight individuals have recovered.

The measles outbreak that started in mid-June in Marion County, Oregon, where the state capital of Salem is located, has spread to at least 23 residents in three counties.

An increase in the number measles cases reported in the United States and other countries have health officials in Missoula County on watch.
